Hi,
A couple of years ago I found a video that had a very quick tutorial for solving the C4U 3x3x5 and 3x3x7 cubes. It was the perfect tutorial for me. I learned it, practiced it for a little while, had fun scrambling and solving these cubes for a couple weeks, and then got distracted by other puzzles and hobbies. Just recently I ran across these cubes again, and while I remember most of what I used to do to solve them, I've forgotten a step or two. I can still solve them, but I'm screwing it up sometimes and have to go back to fix/re-do steps here and there.
I realize there are probably dozens of people here who could give me solving advice. That's not what I'm looking for. What's driving me crazy is that I can't find that same video.
I have found dozens of videos with tutorials for 3x3x5 and/or 3x3x7, but none of them is the right one. They all use a different method, and many of them are in languages I don't understand.
I have been searching for days to find that same tutorial again and can't find it. Maybe somebody here knows which video I'm talking about. Here is what I remember about it:

- I believe the video was on YouTube.
- I cannot remember who the video maker/tutor was.
- I think the video was about a bunch of things, and the tutorial was just the last part. It might have been an unboxing or review of these puzzles, or even for some other twisty puzzle, with the 3x3x5 tutorial tacked on to the end.
- It was not a comprehensive how-to that covered all of the required algorithms step-by-step.
- The method was easy to learn for people who already knew how to solve the 3x3x3 and 3x3x2 (Domino).
- I doubt it is the fastest method to solve these cubes. That doesn't bother me.
- If I remember correctly, at one point the tutor said something like, "If this situation pops up, rotate the middle slice up and then execute an H-perm to fix it."
- The video was in English.
